Ya know, I never used alternate tunings when I was younger, because I thought they were "lazy".

I use them all the time now, I guess age makes you lazy. Also, some tunes just don't sound right in standard tuning. Take the Rolling Stones "Can't You Hear Me Knocking?"...it's in open G, hard as hell to play in standard and it sounds like crap in standard.
